Retroactive Liberation
(The Rebbe writes in a letter:)
Before I had even started school, a picture of liberation
was already forming in my mind. Such a liberation,
and in such a way, that it would truly make sense of all the suffering,
all the oppression and persecution we have undergone.
It is not that there will be no more darkness, no more suffering,
that those things shall cease to exist.
It will be such an essence-light that darkness itself will become light
—-even the darkness and suffering of the past.

People might tell you, "When you come to work, leave your spirituality at home.
Don't bother us with your peculiar lifestyle, your ethics, search for meaning...
That's all nice, but this is business. This is the real world."
There is only one real world, and it belongs to one real G‑d.

Know whence you derive (Ethics of the Fathers 3:1).
This Talmudic statement is usually understood as giving a reason for humility.
People who might be carried away by vanity should reflect on their humble
beginnings and thereby stop any self-aggrandizement.
A scientist who studied the growth and development of the human being remarked,
"As I stared through the microscope at the single-cell fertilized ovum,
and I realized that this infinitesimally tiny bit of matter could compose the
masterpieces of Beethoven and Michelangelo, I was momentarily breathless,
overcome with awe. Except for the nutrients it would receive, nothing would be
added to this single cell. It is absurd that it has within itself the potential to
achieve such greatness. Neither the cell nor its nutrients, nor both together even
in the most sophisticated of combinations, could make such a quantum leap,
and the only logical conclusion is that some external power instills this intelligence
within this bit of protoplasm. It was at that moment that I came to know G-d."
Today I shall ...
.. think how the marvelous phenomenon of the human being originating
from a microscopic bit of matter attests to the existence of G-d.

Inner Exile
It is not so much that we need to be taken out of exile.
It is that the exile must be taken out of us.
A Daily Dose of Wisdom from the Rebbe
-words and condensation by Tzvi Freeman
Growing Each Day
R. Abraham A. Twerski
If you have learned much Torah, do not take credit for yourself (Ethics of the Fathers 2:9).
The Talmud does not hesitate to reveal shortcomings of great sages,
so that we learn that we are all susceptible to err and that our greatest scholars accepted
reprimand even from their inferiors and did teshuvah.
On returning from a successful term at the academy, Rabbi Eliezer ben Shimon allowed his ego
to soar because of his great progress in learning.
On the way, he encountered a man who was exceedingly ugly and said to him,
"Are all the people in your city as ugly as you?" The man responded,
"Why don't you go and complain to the One Who fashioned me?"
Rabbi Eliezer realized what a terrible thing he had said.
He begged the man's forgiveness, but the latter refused.
When they entered the town, and Rabbi Eliezer was greeted by the townsfolk, the man said to them,
"He does not deserve to be called a rabbi." Only after the people pleaded with the man did he forgive Rabbi Eliezer,
cautioning him never to allow his achievements to go to his head again.
How could Rabbi Eliezer have made such a gross remark?
The Talmud cites this incident to tell us that vanity is so degenerating a trait that it can cause
even a highly spiritual person like him to sink so low as to insult someone in this manner.
Once a person feels superior to another, the arrogance that is likely to follow can bring
in its wake the most vulgar attitudes.
We must be extremely cautious that we do not allow our successes to go to our heads.

"Why don't you go and complain to the One Who fashioned me?"
Rabbi Eliezer realized what a terrible thing he had said.
He begged the man's forgiveness, but the latter refused.
When they entered the town, and Rabbi Eliezer was greeted by the townsfolk, the man said to them,
"He does not deserve to be called a rabbi." Only after the people pleaded with the man did he forgive Rabbi Eliezer,
cautioning him never to allow his achievements to go to his head again.
How could Rabbi Eliezer have made such a gross remark?
The Talmud cites this incident to tell us that vanity is so degenerating a trait that it can cause
even a highly spiritual person like him to sink so low as to insult someone in this manner.
Once a person feels superior to another, the arrogance that is likely to follow can bring
in its wake the most vulgar attitudes.
We must be extremely cautious that we do not allow our successes to go to our heads.
